REMINDER TO LEARN THE NEW RULES
As you might have seen during the last few televised PGA Golf Tournaments. Even the Pros are adjusting to the new revisions and as we noted here last month, there are a variety of new rulings that have been adopted by the United States Golf Association which we will incorporate into our weekly Tournaments. Many of these changes were designed to increase the speed of play which has always been our primary concern as a group. Please review and become familiar with each as all new rules will be enforced by our committee (except where local rules override) via the low handicap player in each group. Please review each of these new rules many of which are supported by video presentations by visiting Golf's New Rules: Major Changes on the USGA website.

GIGS N' STUFF
It's a little late, but if you have noticed we have a newish member, Craig Fehrman, who was introduced by Marilou Miller. | | Mr. Fehrman |
A California native, Craig was a teamster for 41 years until his recent retirement. Married to his wife Ruth for 35 years, they have two children and live in Valencia. -- Hey, we have a gig. Once again, it's Bill Lewis who signed last week with a new manager, and a couple of days later was on his way to San Diego for a ten day gig in a motion Picture called "Mighty Oaks" in which he oddly enough plays a grandfather, this time to a ten year old musician who leaves home to follow a musical career -- As you may know, last month Cat Ballou had a stent installed to open up an artery by Dr. Loretta. He had it done at St. Joseph hospital in Burbank. A year and a half ago, Mike Belson had the same surgery at St. Joe's by Dr. Loretta. Eighty three years ago, Belson was born at Michael Reese hospital in Chicago. A year and a half later Ballou was born in the same hospital. What does it all mean? Cat was supposed to make his return at Olivas but another rain out set him back -- John Moskoff celebrated his natal day in the 15th. It has been over 25 years since his bypass and he just keeps on ticking. Keep it going John -- Mark Kourtjian will have bunion surgery at the end of the month and will be out for a month or so.. Also on the DL, Joe Cala took an "unplanned" dive recently injuring his arm. He too will be on the mend for a while. -- Ted & Zanne Winship head out to sea this month for another cruise down the Baja coast.
